Also saw E. Glen Weyl debate Curtis Yarvin over whether America should have a CEO dictator. My hat is perpetually off to @JohnDonvan — takes a deft touch to moderate something like this.

Lots to be said for ranked choice voting and open primaries, but I have to admit to being baffled by the cherry iconography for DC’s Proposition 83

Tammy Patrick of @ElectionCenter_ - Election officials are under-resourced, understaffed, and under attack. #usep24
“The job of elections gets bigger, but the budget doesn’t get bigger.” @MattBailey0 leading a great conversation on how technology changes and expands what goes into running elections. #USEP24
The hallways are buzzing with questions and forecasts… coming from around the world, most #USEP24 attendees can’t vote in this election, but are as invested as if they were casting ballots!
ATM in Washington DC. US Elections 101 right before D-Day. Loud whispers and discussions on who they think will win. @IFES1987 #TheCountdownBegins
#USElections2024

Worlds collide! Nice to be back at my old @gmfus stomping grounds for a @Monocle_Radio taping with @c_cermak, @TonyBanbury of @IFES1987, and @rachaeldean of @SecureDemocracy. Great conversation ahead of U.S. elections—give a listen when it drops tomorrow!

If @EUintheUS buys the beer and gets @KatieRoseEllena of @IFES1987, Dave Salvo of @SecureDemocracy, @Europarl_EN spokesperson @jduch on stage talking EU & global elections, that’s a solid evening right there
With @WillHensleyinDC at @MideastDC inaugural event—a celebration of their launch but also urgent, thoughtful, touching discussions on the democracy and rights needs in MENA region.
Washington conversation on support for Ukraine has gotten swept up into budget brinksmanship. Important to remember this is about people--people who are fighting not just to push back Russia but to rebuild their country safe, free, inclusive.
IFES's Virginia Atkinson, & @fightforrightua's Yuliia Sachuk share how disability rights in Ukraine shape the fight for democracy more broadly. Read the op-ed via @euronews at the link 🔗.

Yuliia of @fightforrightua spoke at the @IFES1987 Democracy Awards last fall. No matter what is happening on the battlefield or in the budget battles, this kind of vision and tenacity should give us hope for Ukraine prevailing youtube.com/watch?v=hThvHQM1…

A little baffled why the Guardian’s editors chose to compare 2024 elections to the Super Bowl—the Olympics are right there! But sports metaphor works. Democracy takes practice! theguardian.com/world/2023/d…

Surprised and delighted when today’s democracy discussion at @SwedeninUSA closed with Lucia procession. More panel discussions should end in song.
